quote [ Guitar capos, little devices that raise the pitch of a stringed instrument, are simple accessories with a surprising legacy of innovation. ]
Can't write a song strap the capo on

An excellent article. Thanks for posting.
I’ve used capos ever since I started playing, 54 years ago. Back then the capo I had was a steel bar wrapped in a tube of plastic, and across that was an elastic strip which wrapped around underneath the neck and went over a small protuberance. Instead of having to transpose, the capo helps one find one’s voice and play in a familiar chord sequence.
Transposing is fun, in some cases. ButI even use a capo on my bass guitar.

The Colorado capo looks very interesting....
